Overall, I loved tech. I loved all the projects and Mr. Calvert was really nice. It was fun but some of the projects like the crank were hard and I didn’t like them as much. If I were to do tech again and I got to chose the projects, I would chose the last project which included the breadboard and I liked the project where you would rub the balloon against your hair and the tinfoil in the cup would move. Tech was really good and I enjoyed it while it lasted.
This is our second to last week. This week we did a circuit project and the objective was to light up the LED light. It was actually easier than I expected. I did it the day he showed us. Mine actually looked normal. If you didn’t use a resistor the LED would burn out, but we did use a resistor so it wouldn’t blow out. It’s really sad because tech is coming to an end. This project may have been the shortest one but I think it was the coolest. I think you could do something with it and you could make like something cool with the LED lights.
This week we were doing cranks. Basically a cam but with a bunch of added stuff inside. It was as hard as a cam, like it took the same amount of time but it was just annoying to cut more parts and wait for more glue to dry. Actually, I did save a little of time because I partly knew what I was doing cause we already did the cam. Overall, I did like doing it but it got stressful when I couldn’t like do it correctly sometimes. I wouldn’t do it again but it was a good experience.
This week we starting doing our cams. It took me a really long time to build it because I was watching the videos step by step. Im pretty sure it took me about 2 hours. It was really tough and I kept messing up. In the end you were supposed to glue it together so there werent two empty sides and I accidentally glued the wrong side. Oops! I just made way too many mistakes and at first I thought it didn’t work when I made it and I’d have to redo it but turns out it does work! And I’m really glad about that because I would’ve been really mad if I had to redo it.
